Last Updated: January 6, 2026

SALT LAKE CITY (Jan. 6, 2026) – Distributor Data Solutions (DDS), the leading product content delivery platform for the industrial supply chain, today announced the launch of the Acadia App for Shopify, enabling distributors and manufacturers to power Shopify storefronts with complete, current, and AI-enhanced product data directly from DDS’ Acadia platform.

The new app provides Shopify users with a seamless way to maintain accurate and up-to-date product content without manual file handling, spreadsheet cleanup, or reformatting. The Acadia platform—trusted by over 450 distributors and 1,700 brands—delivers manufacturer-approved, continuously updated product information across millions of SKUs.

Turnkey Product Data for Shopify-Powered Distributors

For B2B distributors, product data accuracy and completeness are among the biggest barriers to scaling e-commerce. The Acadia App for Shopify is designed to remove these obstacles through:

• Direct product sync from Acadia to Shopify with no custom imports or manual processes
• Access to complete manufacturer catalogs, including images, documents, and rich attributes
• Automated updates as manufacturers send new or revised product data
• Acadia AI enhancements, including improved titles, bullets, features, and categorization
• Scalability from tens of thousands to millions of SKUs

“Distributors don’t want their teams buried in spreadsheets just to keep a Shopify site up and running,” says Matt Christensen, President and Co-Founder of DDS. “With the Acadia App for Shopify, we’ve taken what DDS does best—delivering clean, manufacturer-approved product data at scale—and put it directly into the Shopify ecosystem. This lets distributors move faster, list more products in their e-commerce catalog, and compete more effectively online without adding headcount or complexity.”

A Strong Option for Manufacturers Using or Supporting Shopify

Manufacturers using Shopify—whether for direct selling or to support distributors—gain a consistent, controlled way to deliver accurate product data to every Shopify-powered touchpoint. Benefits include:

• Improved brand consistency across distributor sites
• Faster onboarding for distributors adopting Shopify
• Greater visibility and control over product representation online
• Streamlined support for both direct and channel-based digital initiatives

“Acadia plus Shopify gives manufacturers a way to standardize product data once and deliver it reliably to every Shopify storefront,” Christensen added. “It’s a scalable and future-ready foundation for digital growth.”

Extending DDS’ Real-Time Product Data Delivery Ecosystem

The Acadia App for Shopify continues DDS’s mission to connect manufacturers and distributors through real-time product content that fits any tech stack—whether or not companies use a PIM—and supports complex B2B product structures.

The Acadia App for Shopify is available now to all DDS customers. New and existing customers can contact DDS for access, configuration, and onboarding support.
